Do you ever bookmark a recipe, then lose it in your files until it’s too late in the season to make it? That’s what I did with this one, for the last two years. Oops! Finally, it resurfaced on a day when I was looking for something different and holiday-ish to make for whatever reason.
I was surprised to see powdered sugar listed in the crust ingredients, and was very pleased with the subtle sweet results. This crust was a perfect base to the thick caramel-y filling, allowing the flavor to stand out. And although the chocolate topping had a bit of a snap to it, I just loved this entire combination.
And so did the large neighbor family I talk so often about. 🙂

December 18, 2012 at 7:50 AMThese sound delicious! I love that colored swirl : ) I do the same thing all the time with recipes – and then kick myself when I realize the season is over and should wait a year to make whatever it is haha

It cracks me up every time you mention bringing your goodies to your neighbors with the large family because I grew up with 12 siblings so we were always the recipients of random food, clothes, etc – and we LOVED it! It was so nice to try exciting foods that my dad didn’t buy (because he didn’t have a coupon for them!).

December 17, 2015 at 3:01 PMI made these, and they did not turn out at all. The base is too soft, there is too much dulce de leche, it oozes out everywhere. The chocolate is too thick to nicely cut through. I even heated up my knife blade, and tried to cut from the bottom. Don’t do the candy melts, and maybe make half the sauce, money wasted on this one.
